185v76 Collaborative's new project: The Not Male Show

“The Not Male Show”, a new project from members of the 185v76 artists collaborative, will be launched January 2023, with a target opening date in April.

The increasing emergence and acceptance of self-identities beyond the POV of maleness is an evolutionary tipping point for future society – a change in the psycho-social climate we call culture. Based on works by Princeton alumni artists, the show will investigate how the realities of this accelerating change are experienced and expressed.

Critiquing a specific legacy archetype of maleness, the Not Male Show extends beyond feminism to a more inclusive representation of self-determining identities that are alternative to that archetype. It will simultaneously exhibit an overall group contrast to that legacy and argue against the ambiguous generalization of catch-all categorizations such as LGBTQ -- through art works concretely expressing interpretations and experiences that distinguish these newer cultural identities.
